Another algorithm based on non-trivial collective behavior that originates from sharing information among the population members is the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) [1]}. ACO has been studied deeply and multiple recent variants have been presented [2]} [3]} [4]}. Another algorithm inspired by the global behavior that performs a complex task, such as foraging, based on its individuals' interactions, is the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) [5]}. In the same way, many variants and improvements have been recently proposed [6]} [7]}, which shows that algorithms based on population behaviors continue to be an active research area.
